Case Study: American Cancer Society of Seattle achieves streamlined registration and a $30,000 fundraising boost with Greater Giving

American Cancer Society of Seattle - Customer Case Study

The American Cancer Society — New Orleans hosts an annual “Belles and Beaus” ball drawing about 1,200 guests, 60+ tastings, a 100-item silent auction and dozens of volunteers. Facing the logistical challenge of fast, accurate check-in, coordinating hundreds of volunteers, tracking auction items and introducing mobile bidding to an older audience, the team sought a software solution to streamline registration, bidding and reporting.

They adopted Greater Giving’s event software and Go Time check‑in plus Online Bidding, and staffed Bid Assistants with iPads to help guests. Check‑in and reporting became seamless, mobile bidding was quickly adopted, and fundraising surged: the Fund‑A‑Need doubled expectations, the auctioneer raised $10,000 over forecast, and the event exceeded its goal by $30,000, delivering a record‑breaking result.
